Hi,
I am chasing a cftbl.
I am after one with no pf wear( lil bit of snack bar hole wear is ok) and working hologram.

Try Oscar. He had a few. Not sure of condition.
-
Good luck with your hunt .
I want one too but so far haven't been able to bring myself to spend the asking $$ for one .
I recently missed out on one that The Pinball Shed had on Ebay for $2495 .. didn't see it until too late.
-
Yeah I saw that one but the holo wasn't working so I passed.
-
Holo mods/fixes I've seen would do me at that price *%*
-
Yeah good price if you are doing a holo mod with a toy or something like that.
For me it has to have a working holo, I think it is extremely important to the overall game.allthough I m sure many would disagree with me.
-
CFTBL for $2.5K?
All you will get is a heap of excrement.
This is a premium machine . . . with or sans holograph.
To even entertain buying what you're after - think circa $5K.

Great game, finding one with a perfect hologram is getting hard. Hopefully you will find a nice one for a good price.
-
I agree great game, colourful playfield and looks even better with strategically placed coloured leds, a car with flashing lights etc.
Check out the no hologram mod thread that I posted a little while ago, is effective as a substitute and lights up great though have never seen a hologram in a creature to compare against.

Creatures in QLD often come up for sale in excellent condition for around $2000 to $2500 with working holograms. A mate of mine had a container with 6 x excellent ones in it and he had trouble giving them away. Pinny sales seem to be all over the place. Different month, different prices.
Also, I saw him shine a white LED light onto the hologram with amazing results. I will have to check the colour !@# of the LED but it made the hologram look like brand new. My friend might still have a Creature for sale, so i will check for you.
Again, some titles in QLD attract alot less prices than other states.
-
A reconditioned CFTBL with working Holo (even if it is blue), should set you back no more than $3500. Depends on who you buy it from. $2500 will usually buy an unshopped and non working holo game.

Did you buy the one that was on eBay here in Brissy?
-
No, I went and viewed it on sat.
The holo was purple but other than that the machine was very very tidy..aus delivered as well.
I was thinking about placing a bid but it was pulled from sale, he must have got a good offer.
-
While on the creature theme, anyone know of cabinet decals for this one?

I was tempted myself to have a bid but before i could the auction was pulled.
Swinks, i don't believe there are cab decals avaialble for the creature.

Thanks Rotty, I have been searching for 9 months now...
-
Maybe Spacies could do some??
The ones for dr who sure looked sweet.

I was looking at Ebay and a guy called pricenator was selling a pinball but in his listing of others for sale but not yet listed are 2 Creatures available. Have a search and you may find one.
Here is a link to one of his machines that details the creatures.

Oscar pins
Pricenator is Oscar.
Would be good for local guys who could check the pins out.
I'm very happy with what I have found!

I didn't, realize you found one, congrats. It's a fun game and always enjoy having a go. Definitely worthy of a few Coloured LEDs under some inserts - film, kiss, movie flashers, green or purple bulbs on the ramps as it makes the machine pop.. Without going overboard.
